Abstract:
We propose a non-contact method for accessing data in industrial differential serial bus applications, which could serve as an effective and safe online testing and diagnosing tool. The data stream and the transmission direction are reconstructed simultaneously from the near-field emanations of a twisted pair, eliminating direct contact with the actual conductors, and avoiding damage to the insulation (only the outer sheathing is removed). A non-contact probe with the ability to sense electric and magnetic fields is presented, as are theories for data reconstruction, direction identification, and a circuit implementation. The prototype was built using inexpensive components and then tested on a standard RS-485 industrial serial bus. Experimental results verified the validity of the proposed scheme.
